This splendid orchid arrived in the post from Ann-marie! A wonderful surprise. And a great addition to our orchid table, which is not much in flower at the moment.
I have been feeling rather stressed recently - all the medical stuff I guess and lack of sleep, never mind the awful News. And this was a perfect tonic.
You can see the original perfection of the creation in a flower. And in a rainbow - I add that as I hope my next blog will start with a recent rainbow photographed by Captain Butterfly.
Captain B rang me from The Field - the Archeological Field - on Tuesday morning to tell me he was sheltering from some monsoon-like downpour. Even though he was not far down the coast from me, we did not get it. We had a perfect Autumn day, sunshine (gentle), blue skies, white clouds, and a soft breeze. So it was a variable day on the South Coast. Which no doubt accounted for the rainbow.
And on Wednesday we, a sister and I, visited our ex Bible student, for coffee and a chat. What will come of it I don't know. But she needs the truth so much. There again, don't we all?
Thursday morning I seemed to get a bit of energy back. I made the usual crumble - apple - for himself, finished my studying for the meeting, and I even revamped my Go Bag, which the Governing Body recommend we all have. It is not a wonderful one - I have so many medications now that in case of emergency I will simply have to grab my medicine box in the kitchen. But, hopefully, it is better than nothing.
More hopefully still, I will never have to use it!
And I had a double Zoom field service session and got a lot of Not Home letters and cards done to take to the Hall last night. Col kindly chauffered me - and helped me get dressed.
They call old age "a second childhood", and they are not wrong. Its just that you don't have the cuteness and the appeal that you (hopefully) had the first time around.
